Posted this on the Branson FB page as well. I have a 2021 Branson 4820CH. Aside from the FEL zerks, I have identified nine others -- eight on the underside and one at the right turnbuckle of the 3-point. This includes 3 along the front axle, 1 on the center line just behind the front axle, 3 more across the center of the tractor roughly at the hydraulic fluid filter, 1 at the left rear wheel area, and the 1 already mentioned at he turnbuckle. So 9. I a saw a you tube video that Hank Hamilton did showing 10 on his 5220C. I would say the first 7 I mentioned were exactly where he showed them, as was the 1 turnbuckle zerk (although not exactly the same place). The left rear zerk I found did not appear to be in the same location as his 5220C. He also showed one in the right rear area behind the hyrdaulic filter that I am pretty sure does not exist on mine.
So the question is, am I missing a zerk somewhere? Or was one dropped because of modifications or differences in tractor. Yes, they are both 20 series, but Branson has gone to a four speed range and in my case I have a hydrostat and I believe Hank's is a shuttle. Any guidance would be helpful. The clearly dated owners manual that came with the tractor was little help. In fact, it was comically incorrect vis-a-vis my tactor. Still love the tractor. Its been awesome. But want to make sure I treat it well.
